Kevin Milans : Monongalia County, WV COVID-19 Data

Updates

• July 15, 2020 3:30pm: The historical database has resumed updates and the graph now includes July 14.
• July 15, 2020: The New York Times offers both a live database and a historical database. As described in the database documentation, "A key difference between the historical and live files is that the numbers in the historical files are the final counts at the end of each day, while the live files have figures that may be a partial count released during the day but cannot necessarily be considered the final, end-of-day tally."

  The above graph is presents data from the historical database. The historical database does not contain county-level data for July 14, 2020. I am aware that COVID-19 data collection policies have changed, but I do not know whether these events are related.

  The live database still seems to be receiving updates.

  The current version of the code uses the historical database. Adapting the code to pull data from the live database should be possible but, due to technical differences in the way the data is presented, would take some time.

  Hopefully the historical database will resume updates within a few days. If not, and if the live database is still receiving updates, then I will explore modifying the code to use the live database.
